It's Not About the Alcohol

Ep97: The real reason you can't sleep through the night (and how to become "well-rested") with Dr. Bijoy John


Listen Later

Are you tired of being tired all of the time?

 

Most of us think that insomnia is something we have to live with. We blame stress, hormones and snoring spouses… and then rely on caffeine and under-eye concealer to drag ourselves through the day.

 

But living in a persistent sleep deficit leads to burnout and overwhelm, and eventually chronic physical and mental health problems. The quality of your life will continue to degrade in the absence of high-quality rest.

 

In this day and age, being "well-rested" isn't normal. But it also isn't normal to be healthy. Fortunately, you get to choose. Do you want to feel like you’re barely surviving…or wake up with energy and purpose so you can actually enjoy the life you’ve created?

 

Dr. Bijoy John is a distinguished board-certified sleep specialist and the author of the new book Nobody's Sleeping. He's here to share his seven steps to S.L.E.E.P. N.O.W.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The top reason why Nobody's Sleeping 

  • The long term consequences of operating in a sleep deficit

  • Why good sleep starts when you wake up, not when you go to bed

  • How to use caffeine and alcohol in a way that doesn't ruin the quality of your rest.

  • Dr. John's 7 steps to S.L.E.E.P. N.O.W.
